  • Q: What distinguishes the 'Analytical Time Frame' from the 'Operational Time Frame' in a SOC?
    A: Operational focuses on real-time triage (minutes/hours), while Analytical focuses on long-term trend analysis, hunting, and root cause (days/weeks).
  • Q: How does the 'Golden Triangle' concept influence SOC architecture?
    A: It mandates that Technology must support defined Processes, which are executed by skilled People; buying tools without people/process fails.
  • Q: What is the 'Hybrid SOC' model's primary advantage?
    A: It allows an organization to maintain 24/7 monitoring via an MSSP while keeping deep institutional knowledge and IR capability in-house.
  • Q: What specific role does 'Situational Awareness' play in SOC management?
    A: It enables the SOC to understand the business impact of an incident immediately, prioritizing response based on asset criticality.
  • Q: How should 'Shift Turnover' be operationalized to prevent knowledge loss?
    A: Through structured, mandatory briefings where active incidents and context are verbally and electronically transferred to the incoming team.
  • Q: What is the strategic value of 'Cost Avoidance' metrics?
    A: Demonstrating SOC value by calculating the potential financial impact of incidents that were prevented or contained early.
  • Q: How does the roadmap suggest handling 'Tier 1' analyst burnout?
    A: By implementing automation for repetitive triage tasks and providing clear career progression paths to Tier 2/3.
  • Q: What is the 'Feedback Loop' essential for SOC maturity?
    A: The process of using data from investigations to tune detection rules and update prevention controls, closing the security cycle.
  • Q: How does the document define the 'Mission' of a SOC?
    A: To provide continuous monitoring and detection capabilities that align with and support the organization's specific risk tolerance.
  • Q: What is the role of 'Threat Intelligence' in the described SOC roadmap?
    A: It moves the SOC from reactive to proactive by enabling the search for indicators of specific adversaries targeting the sector.
